[bestbits] Invitation to attend the presentation of the Strategy Toolkit of the IGF Academy

[Lorena Jaume-Palasi]

Dear all,

apologies for cross-postings.

This is an invitation to attend today's presentation of the IGF Academy (
https://igf.academy) strategy toolkit by their fellows.

Please find a description of the session below.


Fellows of the Academy who have just initiated local IGFs will be sharing
the strategies they used to get to funding, outreach and many other factors
of strategic relevance. The session will not concentrate on administrative
or logistic issues, but on strategies created by the fellows how to cope
with the many challenges NRIs experience.


Looking forward to meet you all during the next days.

Lorena


*The Road to a Local IGF: Strategies to Organize a Local IGF*
The fellows of the IGF Academy have been working on a strategy toolkit to
help create Internet governance forums and to enhance existing Internet
governance structures. The toolkit is an outcome of the first IGF Academy
program - IGF Academy Fellows provided country-specific analysis,
evaluations and strategies; Internet governance experts reviewed their
recommendations and scientific editors cooperated with them to finalise the
toolkit. The strategy toolkit consists of four elements: stakeholder
mapping; funding strategy; communication strategy and SWOT analysis. It
guides human rights activists, journalists, governments and other
stakeholders who want to initiate Internet governance forums and processes
to start the organizing process in a strategic, structured way.
Additionally, the IGF Academy aims to strengthen ties between local and
regional Internet governance stakeholders and to provide concrete steps for
multistakeholder participation in the global United Nations IGF.
*About*
The IGF Academy’s goal is to foster freedom of expression on the Internet
and to strengthen inclusive, transparent Internet governance processes. It
facilitates the development of national Internet governance processes and
supports engagement with corresponding regional and global Internet
governance processes.
